I do not know yet, but so far everything seem to be as bad (IMHO). Solaris 10u8 crashes hard when a mere 20 clients try to read or write large amounts of data from the system, if I go to a 10 Gb/s NIC the network stacks dies.... Opensolaris was not better, Nexenta crashed also, kfreeBSD does not have zfs tools, well now it was our time for Debian/Thumper... Cheers Carsten
